福克斯新闻主持人布莱恩·基尔米德在社交平台 X 上发布了一段视频，批评特使史蒂夫·威特科夫称俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京为“人道主义者”。
Fox News host Brian Kilmeade posted a video clip of himself on the social platform X criticizing special envoy Steve Witkoff’s comment calling Russian President Vladimir Putin “a humanitarian.”
“威特科夫此番言论是针对他在俄罗斯圣彼得堡会见普京时所说的话，此前美国公民斯蒂芬·哈伯德于周三获释。
“The Russians must be laughing their heads off,” Kilmeade said in the video. “That just makes you look naïve. A humanitarian? This guy kills his opponents, he arrests journalists … ladies and gentlemen, anyone listening, if you see Vladimir Putin, do not call him a humanitarian,” he continued.
“你谈论我的总统、特朗普总统是人道主义者，”威特科夫对普京说。“先生，您也是一位人道主义者，我向您致敬。”
Kilmeade’s remarks are in regard to what Witkoff said to Putin in St. Petersburg, Russia following the release of Stephen Hubbard on Wednesday.
哈伯德周三获释，在被俄罗斯拘留近四年后返回美国。他当地时间周四清晨抵达圣安东尼奥的拉克兰空军基地。特朗普表示，他曾在电话中亲自请求俄罗斯总统释放哈伯德，而威特科夫前往俄罗斯以确保其获释。
“You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian,” Witkoff said to Putin. “You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that.”Hubbard was released Wednesday and has returned to the U.S. after being detained in Russia for nearly four years.
威特科夫的言论引发了各界抨击，包括参议员汤姆·蒂利斯（共和党-北卡罗来纳州）在内的多位共和党人批评了他的言论。
He arrived at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio early Thursday morning. Trump said he personally asked the Russian president to release Hubbard in a phone call, and Witkoff traveled to Russia to secure his release.
“查一下‘人道主义者’的定义。多么令人尴尬和愤慨的言论，”蒂利斯在 X 上写道。“你应该回乌克兰去，问问那些被普京绑架和杀害的儿童的家属，他们是否同意你的朋友普京是‘人道主义者’。”
Witkoff’s remarks sparked backlash across the board with multiple Republicans, including Sen. Thom Tillis (N.C.), criticizing his comment. “Look up the definition of ‘humanitarian.’ What an embarrassing and outrageous thing to say,” Tillis wrote X. “You should go back to Ukraine and ask the families of the children Putin has kidnapped and murdered whether they agree your friend Putin is a ‘humanitarian.’”
